Trucks with smuggled goods detained
Post Report
BIRGUNJ, Oct 16 - Local District Administration has detained
two trucks for trying to carry smuggled goods to Kathmndu and handed them over to the
Customs Office.
Chief District Officer of Parsa Dolakh Bahadur Gurung told
The Kathmandu Post Monday that the local administration had held the two trucks after they
received information that the trucks were carrying smuggled goods to Kathmandu.
"Plenty of smuggled goods are brought here due to the
open border. We have, therefore, decided at a meeting on Sunday to continuously carry out
surveillance until the Tihar festival," he added.
The detained trucks with plate No Na 1 Kha 5498 and Na 1 Kha
637 belong to Trishakti Road Carriers. Both the trucks were held at a place called Gandak,
about 7 kilometres north of Birgunj Customs Office.
All the goods in the trucks will be examined one by one and
will be seized if they are found smuggled, Customs Chief Ishwor Pokhrel said.
